Skeletor Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Don't think he'll be able to save them. Their team needs far too much work. It absolutely doesn't. Honestly, trust me. It is Sherwood's bizarre tactics that fucked it up. Five at the back at home to Stoke, one CM against Swansea yesterday, 2-0 up at Leicester 25 mins to go, under the cosh, brings off a midfielder, puts on a striker. Lose 3-2. I could go on, trust me. Utterly clueless. The summer signings, though, most of them are pretty well thought of by the fans. The clearest case I have ever seen - anywhere - of a manager failing to get the most from what he has. We often say the same thing here. Doesn't mean our squad is any good. I think you have some decent central defenders and some decent wide forward players but elsewhere I don't see a lot of quality. Your team seems unbalanced like ours is.

The team is unbalanced because he sends it out that way. The squad is decent, but thus far this season, it has been set up truly ridiculously.

Probably our best striker is Kozak, who is ostracised under Sherwood. If there's a weakness, it is up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Jenas: "Their net spend was 5m which says it all" Well, it doesn't, it doesn't point out that we raised 45m in sales, so he actually spent 50m. I hate the English football establishment. They practically urinate on fans, they pay us so little respect.

Just completely avoiding any mention that he just might not have been very good at his job. Nothing about him playing a centre forward who can only do one thing - head the ball - for 90 mins with no wide players at all, or picking one actual CM to play Swansea. And that was just yesterday. I've seen more shocking "tactics" in the last 10 matches we've played than in the previous 10 years. Lambert and McLeish were fucking useless, but their main problem wasn't the fact they didn't understand basic concepts like "when you're 2 up away from home but under the cosh with 25 minutes left, what you don't do is take off a defensive midfielder and put on a striker who is struggling to settle in" (Leicester away). Shocking. How is it even possible for a manager to win once, first day of the season, and have stats like P10 W1 D1 L8, get the sack and not even have a mention of how it came about? It's like when you inevitably end up sacking McClaren, it'll be how you've got unrealistic expectations, and not one of these cunts will point out that you're second bottom (or whatever) or just been knocked out the FA Cup by Gosforth Paper Boys XI or whatever humiliation you've undergone.

Wullie Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't know how you can all bear continuing to consume the media circus that surrounds football. I've pretty much given up on it all, TV, radio, podcasts. Occasionally I'll leave the sound on a broadcast and inevitably get wound up. Had 5Live on in the car before the games on Saturday and some presenter was being completely patronising to some Villa fans. He poured scorn on them really insultingly when one of them suggested they didn't want a new manager who would shut up shop every game and try and grind out 40 points, as he suggested they should. I hate absolutely everyone employed to talk and write about football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a case of "WELL WHO DO YOU WANT LIKE". Not thinking that the Villa fan obviously watches them week in week out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that MOTD mention, there was not a single word uttered about Sherwood's performance, not one. Total spend is misleading though. Aye, you spent £50m but you lost £45m in proven performers. Sometimes teams can become better when they sell a few star players. The Anelka/Overmars days leading to the invincibles for Arsenal. Us with Carroll getting in HBA, Cabaye & Ba. Spurs lost a few before they finished 4th twice. But for most teams, including all of those and Liverpool - selling your best players and trying to reinvest the money doesn't get you a better team. All of that said - Sherwood was awful. You deserve better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
